    in New Powerbook "Housing": Will this hold the 970/G5? Comment by tjm January 2003
  • I think Steve is putting the best face on the situation that he can. PMs are stagnant and hold little interest. They've segmented the PB market so they can hype the "new" products (little changed but for screen size). A yawner as far as computer …

  • I suspect we will see one eventually. Unlike Microsoft with its Tablet PC, Apple can't afford to bet on the wrong horse. So until the phone industry settles out a bit, I suspect Apple is deliberately staying on the sidelines.

  • A "tablet" input device I would like to see would be simply a hard sheet, maybe a couple mm thick tops with a pressure-sensitive surface that you would use in conjunction with a regular pad of paper. Slide it under the page you're currently writing…

  • [quote]Originally posted by Amorph: Well, you don't generally debut a brand new chip design on a brand new process, unless you want to go through Mot 7400 Hell. I don't think even IBM is arrogant enough to think they could pull that off.…

    in Register: Secret Power4 variant? Comment by tjm October 2002
  • I had thought this back before the 970 was presented at the MPF, but was too timid to say anything. What if IBM and Apple are giving us a hip-fake? i.e. The 970 is the one they're publicly revealing, but they have another one they will drop on u…

  • Why I by and large buy what Architosh says: 1) They are not a rumors site. They are focused on Mac-based architectural and CAD/CAM software. Their interest in the G5 is primarily related to its impact on that. They have a large, professiona…
